paper prints require a photocopier to say the least; however, when it comes to

sale, have you considered buying refurbished ones? The term refurbished may frighten some people
off, but it can be a great way to equip your office at a fraction of the usual
cost. You can buy all sorts of
refurbished items from phones to printers.

Some stores will send their display models of printers and
copiers back to the manufacturers. These
items can't be sold as new as the boxes have been opened and the machines may
be slightly damaged. It is usually only
slight scratches on the external part of the machine. The inner components are still in full working
order and are probably even covered by a warranty.

Speak to your local dealers about theirrefurbished copiers for sale. Ask them where the machines
originated and what process is used to refurbish the equipment. Some places just do a light clean whereas
others will check out the unit thoroughly. In addition to making sure that the item is
working, they will replace any worn parts and will also provide a warranty for
a specific period of time which is usually about 3 months.

Regardless of whether you are buying new or used always buy
the right size and capability for your needs. You may have underestimated the amount of
copying you will be doing. You don't

sale as you can often achieve further discounts on stated prices. This is especially true when you use cash at
your local store as the store owner can save money on the fees charged on
credit or debit card purchases.

Today most of us are taking responsibility for the
environmental impact our choices can make on the world. In our personal space, we recycle everything
from old cell phones to cereal boxes. Just
as commercial and residential building contractors are integrating sustainable
or recycled materials in homes and offices they build, so should businesses
have a similar social and ethical responsibility to the environment. While most companies ask their employees to
recycle their plastic water bottles, certain measures should also be taken to
recycle office equipment.

When purchasing a copy machine, it is important to consider
the environmental effects of the copier throughout its life cycle in regards to
manufacturing, packaging, usage, shipping and disposal. Let's consider that for each 50-story
commercial building in America there were five companies per floor, each with
four copy machines, that is a total of 1,000 copy machines per building. Now if one were to take that number and
multiply it by the number of commercial buildings in the United States, which
is an outrageous number of copy machines! If only 1000 of those companies were to
purchase refurbished copiers, or donate the used ones upon purchasing new or
leased copiers, imagine the 'green' impact that could have on the environment!

The first environmental benefit to buying a refurbished copy
machine is eliminating the need to purchase the raw materials needed for
producing a new copier, in effect reducing the end users carbon footprint. If one were to consider the amount of carbon
produced through manufacturing and shipping a new machine, purchasing a
refurbished copier makes perfect sense.

The obvious 'green' advantage to purchasing a refurbished
copier is the reduction of the wasteful dumping of a perfectly serviceable
machine. It takes decades, if ever, for
the plastic material that an ink cartridge is housed in to decompose, and
printer ink should be properly disposed; as it is non-biodegradable and toxic
to the environment. Purchasing a
refurbished copier ensures that a copier does not end up in a landfill, in
effect reducing waste.

Another approach to keeping your office 'green' is to
purchase a refurbished copier which features the ENERGY STAR label. According to the EPA, using an ENERGY STAR copier can reduce that machines annual electricity bills by nearly 60 percent,
by shutting off after a period of inactivity. High-speed copiers have a duplexing option
that when set to double-sided copies can reduce paper usage by at least 25%.

If your copier is not ready for the landfill, refurbishing
it is a good place to start. If it is
ready to retire, buying a refurbished copier is unquestionably the 'green'
approach to replacing it.

If you're starting a business or upgrading your office
equipment you may be in need of a copy machine. Finding the best copier isn't
as easy as you may think. However, while
you may know the main features you want - paper capacity, copies per minute,
color copies, etc. - do you know how to get the best deal? Read on to learn how
much money you could save by purchasing a refurbished copier.

Why buy used vs. new?

Copy machines are a lot like cars. As soon as a car leaves the lot, or in this
case, as soon as a copy machine is sold, it loses a lot of value. The cost of a brand new copier is generally
very inflated, and can range from $7,000 to more than $50,000, while used copy
machines run anywhere from 50% to 75% of the original price. And much like cars, used copiers come with
warranties and run just like new for a very long time. Furthermore, unlike cars there's really no way
to tell the difference between a new and used copier, and who's going to be
looking at your copy machine anyway?

Can I trust a used
copier?

In general, a good used copier company will only sell you a
copy machine with low usage and with any worn parts that needed to be
replaced. In fact, most refurbished
copiers are from short term rentals, sales demos, off-lease contracts and
repossessions, and have been used less than three months as rated by their
manufacturers recommended monthly usage table.
Additionally, most machines have an internal copy counter that keeps
track of the number of copies it has made in its lifetime. A trustworthy refurbished copier company will
show you the copy counter as well as provide a warranty on the used copier that
you buy.

I don't want an
off-brand copier.

No problem! Most used
copiers actually come from top-of-the-line brands such as Ricoh, Konica
Minolta, or Toshiba copiers. And with
big brands comes even bigger savings. On
a $50,000 copier you could save anywhere from $25,000 to $37,500. You can also find refurbished color copiers,
desktop copiers, and enterprise copiers that make up to 100 copies per minute.

When times are tough you want to ensure your company is
squeezing the value out of every last dollar and cent. So why would you spend your entire office
supplies budget on a new copier when you can purchase a certified refurbished
copier at markets 50-75 percent below MSRP?
Purchasing a certified used copier is a smart business decision. It will provide your office the productivity
it requires for many years but won't come with the elevated costs of a brand
new copy machine. Find a refurbished
copy machine distributor today!
